Just another nail in. I am truly shocked at the build quality.

Speaking of corroded and snapped bolts on the F-Type, have a look at the state of what this member found..... viewtopic.php?p=44684#p44684Buildermike wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 3:19 pm Purchased from JLR Just had 3 Fuel injectors replaced NOT under warranty. Water ingress. apparently with every bolt they touched they snapped.

That looks the neatest solution I’ve seen.jonm wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 6:08 pm Here whats I've done to stop water getting onto the heads and in the vee, Have used EPDM roofing rubber sheet bonded to the underside of the engine cover to deflect water away from the heads, also re-routed the coolant bleed hose as the water was tracking down this and finding its way onto the top edge of the rocker cover.
Hi and welcome to the forum.Charlieepie wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 12:06 am Hi all, new to the forum and Jag ownership, sorry to resurrect the thread again but looks like it’s died and come back to life a few times anyway.
Anyway I’ve recently bought a 2015 RWD F-Type S, so precisely the model that suffers from this… it’s got the type of bonnet vent with the one line of tiny holes on rather than the open ones, though this doesn’t look like it makes much difference.
I haven’t had any issues at all (touch wood), before I bought it I had a look on the internet for common issues etc and most articles I came across were vague and just specified that if it’s been regularly serviced it should be good, will have SOME niggles as all cars do. Anyway now I’ve done some deeper digging it looks like this is a common(ish) problem…
I just wanted to know - is this really as common a problem as it sounds? (If you google F Type Injector seizures you get a lot of hits!). But I suppose nobody is posting specifically about NOT getting injector issues?!
And if so is there anything I can do to see whether mine has suffered from this - what am I looking for, is anything even visible in the engine bay or is it just a case of you find out if an injector fails and then is found to be seized?
And, is it worth covering (as RPSN has done) the gaps in the engine cover? Does this stop the water getting to the injectors? If so this seems like a reasonably easy win and I can get some high temperature foil tape and sort over the weekend.
I think I’m just a bit jumpy now I’ve read this and a few bits about splitting coolant pipes… I’ve recently come from owning a Toyota and they’re pretty much bullet proof so now I’m having nightmares about £11000 cylinder replacements
TIA!
